This is disgusting More finagling from Trump attorneys to stop his taxes.

Some judge better step up and demand that the taxes be turned over of the attorneys go to jail. They are making a mockery of our justice system by filing brief after brief stalling for time.

Trump Accuses Judge of ‘Stacking the Deck’ Against Him in Tax Ruling
The president is appealing an order that allowed his tax returns and other financial records to be released to the Manhattan district attorney.

............................

In a forceful and sharply worded brief, Mr. Trump’s lawyers said the judge, Victor Marrero of Federal District Court in Manhattan, had given short shrift to their arguments that a subpoena seeking the tax returns was overly broad and amounted to political harassment.

The appeal was the latest turn in a protracted legal battle that began in August 2019, when the office of the district attorney, Cyrus R. Vance Jr., a Democrat, issued the subpoena to Mr. Trump’s accounting firm seeking eight years of the president’s personal and corporate tax returns and other financial records as part of a criminal investigation.

In July, the Supreme Court, in a landmark decision, rejected Mr. Trump’s first argument against the subpoena: that as a sitting president he was immune from criminal investigation. But the justices said Mr. Trump could raise new objections to the subpoena’s relevance and scope, which he quickly did.

Last month, Judge Marrero dismissed Mr. Trump’s latest arguments, that the subpoena was “wildly overbroad” and issued in bad faith, clearing the way for Mr. Trump’s accounting firm, Mazars USA, to turn over the financial records. Prosecutors have complained that Mr. Trump has been using delaying tactics to frustrate their inquiry into him and his businesses.

He'll drag it out as long he can. If he should win he'd igore every legal decision that went against him.

Deutsche Bank was ordered to give the returns to NY prosecutors. Trump’s team wants an Order preventing Deutsche Bank from releasing the returns. All the Court has to do is Order the returns released and hold Deutche Bank’s attorneys and corporate officers in contempt if they fail to release the returns by X date.

That’s my understanding, in any event.

returns or they will go to jail for the night I bet we'd see the returns.

At this point it is the judiciary that is fucking up for allowing this kind of shit travesty of our legal system to occur

When he got more power and a DOJ behind him, that's when things really turned south.

That's not saying he doesn't use the courts to delay and make small business to take a loss (because going to court cost them more). But now, even the justice system is siding with him at times because he put those people there.
